Graeme Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Seems I've bought myself a 1990 gsxr750. Been fightered, has an r1 tail. I've been wanting to build a stripped down gsxr for a long time so am going to stay traditional which means the tail will be either gsxr400, rgv250, cagiva mito, or ducati 916. I'm trying to decide which one I like the proportions of but finding pics, I never know exactly what the tail is. Anyone got a pic of a slingshot with any of these tails, and know for sure which it is? Mito is smaller than 916 right? Rgv vs gsxr400? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Graeme Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 Realising now I probably should have put this in general! Quote Link to comment

I'll look through again. Just hard to tell in pics sometimes what bike the tail came from. Quote Link to comment
Jdeac Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 @MrKrishas/had a build in projects section with a 400 seat Quote Link to comment
Graeme Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 Found the pics showing gsxr400 and I think rgv too. I've now twigged the difference between 916 and mito too. Pretty sure I want cagiva mito, so the search is on. Quote Link to comment

Similar to 916, without the lower side vent and a little smaller overall. I am hoping to get my girlfriend on the back though so not ruled 916 out yet either. Quote Link to comment
Jdeac Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Hmm I have a mito hanging on the wall in my garage. Dragged out of a garden..... Quote Link to comment

Is it possible to get the tank to seat junction to flow when using gsxr400 plastics? Quote Link to comment

fatblokeonbandit Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 it dose, i stupidly sold that one as my knees ached, then 8 years later i did another one..which i never really finished..before swapping for My moto martin Quote Link to comment
Jdeac Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Which I ended up with. After jb. Then @MrKrishad alot of the parts from me. Shame kris is finished with it Quote Link to comment
Graeme Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 As good as they look, I can't get the mito/916 thing put of my head. Mito, being smaller, looks better. Harder to find though. 916 looks a bit more comfortable. Cheaper too! Quote Link to comment
MrKris Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 If you want to try the 400 frame package I have here we can come to a deal as I need the room? Quote Link to comment
